The drive refers to the hard drive letter in a file path. It consists of a single character followed by a colon.
Examples: C: or N:


Step-by-Step Guide

  1. Open LinkFixer Advanced and select Move/Rename.

  2. Select "Create Rules" and click on "Add Rule" button.

  3. Either type in or click on browse and navigate to the "drive" you want to modify.
    Note: Some links use UNC (Universal Naming Convention) paths instead of drive letter.
    Example: 
    \\server\server-p\folder1\file1.xls - In this case, there is no drive component.
    1. \\server is treated as the node
    2. \server-p\folder1\ is treated as the folder

      Notice: Only enter the drive letter and colon (":")

  4. Click "OK" to save the rule.
